A shared love of jazz music brings a broad range of students together in Virginia Tech's Jazz Ensemble. While some of the students are music majors, others come from engineering, architecture, business information technology, and more. "The music itself is America's greatest cultural contribution to the world," said Associate Professor Jason Crafton. "It's a music that's kind of rooted in African rhythm and European harmony."
